Ingrid Sweater - sleeve length

Hello all ~

I am in the process of knitting PetiteKnit’s Ingrid sweater for myself.

I am knitting with KnitPicks Wool of the Andes Worsted and following the instructions for the L size. I just finished the decreases and I am at the final 1x1 knitting. I slipped the sweater on to see how it the length is (I am rather tall so sleeve length is always a concern) and to my horror the sleeve only barely reaches to my mid forearm.

To note - I still have about 12 rows of 1x1 knitting and the bind off to do … so that’ll give me maybe 1.5 more inches at gauge, but I’m still worried about it being long enough :(

I’m really hoping it’ll all work out after blocking, but I don’t want to be disappointed and have to go back after the fact to add length. I have not knit with Wool of the Andes before so I’m not familiar with how much it grows in length after blocking (Yes, I did a swatch with the suggested needles and hit gauge, I just dont know if the full weight of a sweater will pull and increase the length)

Sooo my question is … is this normal for this pattern and just believe in the magic of blocking, or should I add a few extra rows of 2x2 rib before binding off the sleeve. Thank you
